Configure Online Space Booking (OSB) to allow users to select other languages - where the OSB web pages and their data are shown in the language the user selects. This is definable for each OSB configuration and allows for different language options. To use multiple languages, you must pre-configure the following:
- Configure Dictionaries and Custom Dictionaries in the Dictionaries screen for the languages you want to offer.
- You must add the desired Languages to the Languages screen
- You must have the software configured to use alternate descriptions, to support each desired Language.
- Dictionaries must be "Custom" and their OSB phrases and fields may need to be updated to provide the specific phrases and field labels the client wants for the selected language.
